good posts.
this talk show host is completely mislead. he thinks that the muslims are commiting violent acts around the world and that they should be ashamed of themselves. In reality, Western nations have been continuously attacking the middle east for much of history, and particularly the last century in the case of Europe, Russia, the United States, and its financial partner, Israel.
This region has been decimated to the extent that some desperate muslims have committed a few insignificant terrorist attacks that consume much of the attention of our mainstream media. The most significant of these attacks would be 9/11 where about 2,800 people died, and then about ~50 attacks occur each year globally, usually killing less than 10 people each (
http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ho/pubs/fs/5902.htm).
Since 2003, roughly 70,000 iraqis have died due to US occupation (
http://www.iraqbodycount.org/). this doesnt even count the numbers that died in afghanistan or the civilians whose deaths will never be reported. over 100,000 iraqi civilians died when we bombed their water supplies in the first iraq war. Did any of you know that 5 million Vietnamese were killed when we had our "conflict" there? 4 million of them were civilians(wikipedia). (Hitler executed about 6-7 million). To add insult to injury these countries are occupied. The U.S. has never been burdened by a war on its soil, and one simply cannot compare the hardship of a single terrorist attack to life with military occupation. The latter is just so much worse for the people.
Considering the VAST disparity between the amount of QUANTIFIABLE damage done by the U.S. and its "foes," it is obvious that this radio host is completely backwards in his ideas. He claims to have a problem with all Muslims because they don't speak out against terror attacks. Why isn't the radio host speaking out against the U.S. when he knows they kill so many more people and damage so many more critical resources?
Anyway, he was a terrible radio host and you can tell that even he realizes his point of view doesn't make sense. Thats why he cuts off the caller any time he gets even close to bringing up the OBVIOUS opposing point of view. Congratulations to any of you that are bad enough at critical thinking that you bought this shit. He's a racist. Just like Hitler. And so are you. Repent or you will suffer the wrath of your own God.
